π₯0. OpenCV Build, Ubuntu 20.04 + OpenCV 4.5.2 + CUDA 11.2
0. Check your system environment
- Check your Ubuntu version
> lsb_release -a

- Check your CUDA, GPU driver is installed properly.
> nvidia-smi
> nvcc --version


-
You also can check driver version on Software & Updates tool in Window.
- In my case, driver version is 460.80

Reference how to install CUDA on ubuntu:
- link1 : Installing CUDA 10.1 on Ubuntu 20.04
- link2 : Installing Tensorflow with CUDA & cuDNN GPU support on Ubuntu 20.04 and charge through your Linear Algebra calculations

2. OpenCV Build
- Download
> cd ~/Downloads
> wget -O opencv.zip https://github.com/opencv/opencv/archive/refs/tags/4.5.2.zip
> wget -O opencv_contrib.zip https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/archive/refs/tags/4.5.2.zip
> unzip opencv.zip
> unzip opencv_contrib.zip
- Set virtualenv environment for python (Optional)
# Create a virtual environtment for the python binding module (OPTIONAL)
> sudo pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
> sudo rm -rf ~/.cache/pip
> echo "Edit ~/.bashrc"
> export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
> export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3
> source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
> mkvirtualenv cv -p python3

- go to installation folder
> cd opencv-4.5.2
> mkdir build
> cd build
- make source code

Troubleshoot
π€ libcudnn symbolic link error
/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/local/cuda-11.2/targets/x86_64-linux/lib/libcudnn.so.8 is not a symbolic link
π€ CUDA_ARCH_BIN, compute capability value table
CUDA_ARCH_BIN Table for gpu type
π€ Test if your system can find the OpenCV paths, run the following command
> pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv

- If it gives you an error message, your PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable may not be pointing to OpenCV and you must add the path on it. Try to run this and the test once again
> export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"
- You can append the last command on a profile script to avoid the need to run it every time, try .bashrc:
> vi ~/.bashrc
